The Hidden Benefits of a Salt Cellar

April 2, 2015 By Mrs. Hines

Sometimes it’s the little things.

Like the other day when I was chopping and stirring and seasoning…there was this moment of surprise, just as I was I sprinkling a pinch of salt from the salt cellar into the pot, when everything was right with my world.

I was so pleased by the simple fact that the salt was within easy reach, that I was cooking for my family and that they would be home soon.

The wife, mother and homemaker in me felt so satisfied. The whole experience was like a pat on the back, telling me I was doing a good job.

All because of a little salt cellar sitting next to the stove.

And, just in case no one has told you lately, I want to tell you that you are doing a good job.

Thanks for the wonderful reminder. I love my salt cellar, a pretty covered pottery dish that a dear, deceased friend gave me as a housewarming gift 27 years ago. I love using it and I love thinking of Becky. I so look forward to seeing her in heaven!
